What is your level of gardening experience?

self taught but enthusiastic novice

Do you currently have a garden or participate in a community garden?

I have grown mostly tomatoes for the past four years in a 4' x 6' little patch in a backyard-not mine-in La Crescenta. I have expanded this summer to another 4' x 6' area. Again mostly tomatoes with some peppers and squash. I am thinking about expanding to parts of the rest of the backyard with raised beds, or stacked hay raised beds, or square foot gardening method raised beds. Or, maybe a combinatiion of all three methods. We'll see.

Introduction

Books, magazines and the internet are great resources for a backyard gardener like myself, but I feel that my primarily solo effort would be greatly improved by interacting with other gardening enthusiasts sharing and learning from each other.

What Tim P. is saying about this Meetup Group

I am learning lots and am having a fun time. Great teachers and wonderful co-learners. Mark & Leonardo thanks for sharing, seriously.

Growing your own fruit, vegetables, herbs and raising poultry is not only a great way of saving money it's part of a healthy lifestyle. We welcome all levels of gardeners from novice to advanced. Our Meetups consist of garden tours, field trips and how-to demonstrations.
